The Science Show 24/08/2013 – Reducing pollution from farms

In this Science Show podcast, we talk with Andrew Down from ‘Natural England’, a government initiative to help farmers keep the water supply free of pollutants. We visit a farm in Duxford, England where Andrew explains what is meant by “Catchment Sensitive Farming”. Read more at http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/csf

Environment is such an issue today, it much has its own forces to fight its different battles. ‘Natural England’ is an NGO and they connect with the Environment Agency, Rural Development Programme and with DEFRA – the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs.

Questions from this show’s SCIENCE FACT or FICTION section:

  • Do teenage drivers make FEWER driving mistakes while listening to music?
  • Can charity work and other ways to give back to the community prolong your life?
  • Do women who receive midwife care throughout their pregnancy experience more successful births?
  • Can a plant make its own fertilizer?
  • Could regular exercise prevent problems in the bedroom?

The Next Science Show is on Saturday 7th September at the very NEW TIME of 3.30 pm.

Securing the future of Community Radio

Cambridge 105 Radio is the Community broadcaster for the city and South Cambridgeshire.

Our brief is to give a voice to those sometimes excluded from traditional media. And the presenters you hear on air are all volunteers themselves who give up their time for free. We do it because we believe our perspective matters – because it might well be your perspective, too.

If everyone who listens to our shows, our podcasts, the businesses we feature, helps to pay for it, our future would be much more secure.

You can support Cambridge 105 Radio by giving monthly or by making a one-off contribution.
